Lyrics of Beware.. The South London Lover Boy. by RAYE

Intro

Deep in the heart of the South London concrete jungle

There lives a strange creature

Beware, the South London lover boy

Hook

Girls, stay safe out there

Best you stay prepared

He′s a South London lover boy

Hook

(Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh) beware

(Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh) and be wary

(Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh) it's oh so scary

Verse

He′ll Lime Bike to your doorstep

Spliff hanging off his lips

He'll grab your arse and squeeze it

Before he leans in for a kiss

Verse

He's just so charismatic

And he talks as if he′s doing road

And he says, "I′m too toxic for you, darling

But when we kiss, it feels like home"

Chorus

Beware (won't you beware?)

The South London lover boy (the South London lover boy)

They′ll know where to find you (they'll know where to find you)

Especially early when you′re home alone too

Chorus

Beware (beware, beware)

He'll pull up on you in an all-black car

And start reading you poems out the window

He′s not looking for a heart, just your pillow to rest his head

Hook

Girls, stay safe out there

Best you stay prepared

He's a South London lover boy

Hook

(Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh) beware

(Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh) he's so aimless

(Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh) it′s oh so dangerous

Verse

Well, there′s another side to this story

For there's a mean kinda beast a-lurking

And it hunts these streets, and it may call you by a whistle

If it finds you, pretty woman, the first thing, uh

Verse

T-take care not to antagonise it

Do-don′t offend its fragile ego

Stay calm and kind and polite, darling

Or else the outcome could be lethal

Chorus

Beware, eh-eh-eh-yeah (won't you beware?)

The South London lover boy (the South London lover boy)

They′ll know where to find you (they'll know where to find you)

Especially early when you′re home alone too

Chorus

Beware (beware, beware)

He'll pull up on you in an all-black car

And start reading you poems out the window

He's not looking for a heart, just your pillow to rest his head

Hook

Girls, stay safe out there (there)

Best you stay prepared (ooh)

He′s a South London lover boy

Verse

Alright, girls (it′s so, so, so scary)

Wherever you're listening

In your house, in your car (it′s so, so, beware)

Walking home from work after dark

I need you to repeat after me (it's so, so, so scary)

Stay wary, girls, it′s scary out there, sing (uh, uh, girls)

Hook

Girls, stay safe out there, sing (girls)

Girls, stay safe out there, sing (sing, girls)

Best to stay prepared, sing

Best to stay prepared, sing (it's wild out there, sing)

Girls, stay safe out there, sing

Girls, stay safe out there, sing

It′s best to stay prepared

Uh-uh-uh, we think she needs a chance

Hook

Girls, stay safe out there

Girls, stay safe out there

Best to stay prepared

Best to stay prepared

Oh, girls, stay safe out there

Girls, stay safe out there

Best to stay prepared

Best to stay prepared (oh)

Outro

He's not looking for your heart, just a pillow to rest his head

Ooh, that boy is a South London lover boy

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
